Leinster took revenge on Munster last night for their heavy loss earlier in the season, with a scrappy 13-8 win at Thomond Park.
Defences reigned supreme in Limerick with both sides scoring just one try; Josh van der Flier for Leinster, and Dan Kelly for the home team.
The result leaves holders Leinster sixth in the URC table, five points behind second-place Munster.
After the game, Leinster head coach Leo Cullen spoke to the Premier Sports crew, which included former Munster and Ireland international Simon Zebo.
The ex-winger is known for his Munster bias in his punditry and fervent anti-Leinster banter.
But Cullen had the last laugh yesterday, slagging Zebo over the amount of players in the Munster team who are from Leinster.
He said: "Good few Leinster guys you have done here now as well?"
To which Zebo replied: "We do yeh."
Cullen kept pushing and added: "Is there more Leinster than Limerick guys?
"Let's get the names on paper. Is there more Leinster guys than Limerick guys?
"Are you like a Leinster fan now?"
Zebo could only laugh and say: "That will never happen!"
And Cullen had a point, with six former Leinster players in Munster's match-day 23, and just one Limerick man in Craig Casey.
